Bloco Olofi, 8 piece Samba reggae group. We play afro-Brazilian Samba fused with West African melody. Bloco= Carnival blocos de rua are street bands that mobilize crowds on the streets and are the main popular expression of Brazilian Carnival. Olofi= Candomble deity is the conduit between Orún (Heaven) and Ayé (Earth). We have 2 vocalists who sing the traditional songs from Brazil. We perform as a stage set with the vocals and west African kora and a hint of electronics to spice it up or a parade set with just drums and song.
